There is some new debris and remnants of stuff on the hill we didn't have time/people power to collect last year.

Fifth year in a row we've been tackling this site. This year we'll be working upstream (west of the bridge) working around Rock Run Creek and in the flood plain down to the Potomac River. After five years of working the same area the flanks of the American Legion Bridge are fairly clean (knock on wood) but, given that the highway is a gift (of trash) that keeps on giving, a group will be needed to work there. There is much natural beauty here to appreciate but be prepared for highway noise. We will meet in the parking lot at Lockhouse #10 on the C&O Canal then walk up to the bridge area. Please don't hesitate to e-mail me if you have any questions about how to get to the site.
Please note that students who participate WILL qualify for service hours -- just bring your form with you for me to sign. If it's raining (drizzle OK) the event will be called off.
